Question about Auras

For those of you who ascribe to the idea of auras, I'd like to know how I could learn to see my own aura.

Or, if I actually can see my own aura.

I don't remember much about this subject...it was almost 10 years ago but I do remember looking at my own aura.

Auras were never easy for me though. I always dealt much better with imagery than color And if it's anything like Tarot reading, it's more difficult to see your own, or you get less information. At least for me.

>< I don't remember the exact processes that they used. After 'running' energy (it was a form of meditation I can try to describe if you want) I think I just imagined a bubble around me then started looking at it closer haha. You can see colors, and thin places and healthy places and the like.

Haha sorry it's been a long long time since I thought about it.

Auras are a reflective thing. They do exist. They are there and you can see them. But they constantly change and shift based on your mood, emotions, health, environment. That is why it is silly when someone says "Oh your Aura is X color" well it might be that color at the time. But that changes and it changes rapidly. What color do YOU think it is? Most likely you will be more right/correct then the person who claims to have such "Powers"

There are many theories and ideas on how you can see Auras. One Idea is to set a person in front of a pure white, wrinkle free poster board. Then you mediates in front of that person, asking them to do the same while you concentrate. You know how you gaze at an object and then just ever so slightly shift your focus to the it's shadow? Similar...except you shift to their aura.

Another one was an Electro magnetic device but beyond that I couldn't say. I remember this guy jumping on a mini trampoline for a full half hour then going crazy about how he could push his finger on the device and see how much his Aura spiked. I was young. He was showing my mom.....Google it?

To see it yourself perhaps you can use the first idea? Put your hand over a pure white peace of paper and concentrate on it. The aura will show up on the paper....or so they say.

Myself.

I say that such things are hardly important and instead focus on what your intuitions tells you about yourself.

I used to see them all the time when I was a kid. I still do on occasion but not so much. I see it more on trees and stuff than on people.

Anyway, yes you can learn. The way I was told is to practice with your own hand against a light (preferably) white background. Don't look at your hand... Focus on it as you're looking through it. Eventually it will just come to you. Don't try to see anything or you'll drive yourself mad. At first most people see it as a silverish or goldish outline. After a lot of practice you might see other colors as well. Good luck!

I will try the paper choice, and look beyond the hand. I'll report back!

I do know that pregnant women "glow". Happy people "radiate". Unhappy people are "dark". When people stand near a wall with the proper lighting you can make out something that resembles an "aura".

Scientifically speaking, people emit heat as radiation. Hot people give off water vapor as sweat. Our skin flushes with blood and changes our skin color. The heart gives off a weak magnetic field. Our whole body is electrochemical. So yeah there probably is some evidence to support auras.

And some people see them better than others. I don't see auras but I feel energy from people and their state or I just good at reading body english?

The method that works best for me is to let your gaze go slightly unfocused ...ie look at your hand, then look past your hand so it (your hand) goes slightly out of focus and the aura becomes easily visible...as a first timer it's a good idea to have good lighting and a plain white background....with time and practice you should be able to see them at will....

I have a question for people, just to be a "devil's advocate". I am normally not skeptical, and I am trying to be more skeptical... since it's been a problem in the past.

Is it possible that by loosening the gaze, we instead begin seeing the colors we see when our eyes are closed? That purply-blue-green-black-gold combination?

I always see images and patterns when I close my eyes, and they're mostly black and white kind of like a static screen on tv...
